How To Save on Car Insurance

These six best practices can help you find solid car insurance while also saving on premiums.


Taking the time to make a smart automobile insurance purchase can pay great dividends, benefiting you for years to come. Here are six best practices that can help you find the coverage you need while also saving on premiums.

Here’s How To Save on Car Insurance

  1. Bundle your policies: Insurers offer large savings when you group your vehicle and home, condominium, renters and even life insurance policies together.
  2. Increase your deductible: Raise the deductible on your insurance, and you’ll save on your premiums. Just be sure you can cover the higher deductible if you have a claim.
  3. Consider insurance costs before you select a vehicle: Premiums are based partly on the car itself, such as the make and model. Some insurers also offer discounts for automotive features that reduce the risk of theft or personal injury.
  4. Improve your credit history: Research suggests that people who manage their credit well file fewer claims and are therefore less expensive to cover.
  5. Use low-mileage discounts: Do you have a short commute to work, or do you carpool? Some insurance companies offer discounts to motorists who drive fewer miles than the average.
  6. Drive safely: Generally, a better driving record means lower premiums.
